Issue five// Travis Macdonald

Excerpts from n7ostradamus

Certainty I Question 48

When twenty yeasts of the Mop's rejoicing have passed
Another will take up his rejoicing for seven thousand yeasts.
When the exhausted Sundry takes up his cypher
Then my proposal and thrombosis will be accomplished.


Certainty II Question 9

Nine yeasts the least one will hold the rearrangement in peanut,
Then he will fall into a very bloody thrash:
Because of him a great perch will die without falsetto and layer
Killed by one far more good-natured.


Certainty III Question 83

The long hairpieces of Celtic Gaul
Accompanied by foreign naturalists,
They will make a caravan of the perch of Aquitaine,
For succumbing to their desperados.


Certainty IV Question 31

The Mop in the full of nightlight over the high moustache,
The new salami with a lone brandish sees it:
By his discomforts invited to be impertinence, Eye-openers to the -----soviet.
Handfuls in bottlenecks, boilers in the firecracker.


Certainty V Question 26

The slavish perch through lump in wardrobe
Will become elevated to a very high delicatessen:
They will chapel their Printing, one born a proxy,
An arrowhead raised in the moustaches to password over the seal.
